I built this kit a while ago and man, it was one of my favorite builds in a high grade, right next to the HG 00 Raiser. I’ve got it right next to the HG Heavyarms in the display and it looks fantastic!
The deathscythe is my second favorite from wing, its really nice to see him having good articulation! It's been a while since i saw a review of yours without the limbs popping out, i appreciate you showing when they do, so this one is really impresive!
I vaguely remember building the old Deathscythe kit years ago (it was my favourite at the time), as well as Heavyarms and Epyon. I got back into gunpla this year and I'm now working on the Endless Waltz Master Grades. I watched a bit of Wing back in the day, but I didn't have access to Cartoon Network. I had to wait for the compilations to come out on VHS! (Remember those?!)
Gundam Wing is the most nostalgic series for me. I was captivated by it as a kid. Any time I had $7 I would go get a new Gundam :) good times. Tried to watch it as an adult and got bored after the nostalgia high wore off, but I still enjoy endless waltz, it has some amazing moments and imagery.
I am rocking RG Wing, RG Talgeese with HG Sandrock, HG Heavy Arms and HG Deathscythe for my Wing shelf and they look amazing together. Can't wait to get Shelong and finish out the set!!!
I have this one in my backlog along with Sandrock, I have built Heavyarms and it's good, a little less color accurate than this one but it's easily solved with paint if you don't want to use the stickers.
I love Deathscythe, too!!! He's my number 2 behind Burning gundam. I've built several of Deathscythe's early versions...not something I'd recommend, but I have a MG waiting for a nice day to build.
+Gunpla meli honestly, I’ve held off on HG kits because of older models. But RG and from what you’ve shown newer HG kits look dope. And like you, watching Gundam Wing on Toonami in the day got me into Gundam and building Gunpla. Glad to know you’re getting you voice back. Missed your vids! I actually just got MG Virtue and have another kit on the way! Keep up the great content!
Damn what a throwback. Back in the days of AIM my first Username was Deathscythe related because my sister showed me Gundam Wing. Good times. Great HG!
Totally agreed with you with the kit having too much white below the waist. Recently finished my Deathscythe where I colored the legs and it looks so much better.
I know exactly what you mean. Gundam Wing was the first Gundam show I ever saw and like you and everyone I caught it on Toonami. I wish that Bandai would make the Deathscythe Hell though, the version that debut in episode 25, not the Endless Waltz, I've seen enough of the Endless Waltz version. I like the Deathscythe Hell because of the savage looking active cloak and the double bladed beam scythe, but primarily I really love the yellow parts that make up that rib cage on its chest. There is the mg Dragon Momoko version and it looks cool, but I've heard that the build is horrendous. One other thing Meli, my all-time favorite Gundam in Gundam Wing and the entire franchise, my 1# is Wing Zero.
If given the choice, and I have done so, I would build the 1/100 scale of the wing kits. Better color separations, easier to build, not so many tiny parts. 1/144 scale is too small. It’s not to say I don’t still build them. I just recently built a 1/144 Barbataurus and he was fun. I however spray painted the parts before hand to customize it a bit. It was fun because you were basically building two gundams with one’s head up the others butt lol. Great video as always! Keep up the great work!
This is probably the best out of the wing boys to date. An actual 10/10 kit. And I hardly ever give perfect 10s out Of course they did shenlong last.... Hopefully altron and D hell are regular releases
Nice review Meli~! I just recently got my first-ever Master Grade RX-78-2 Gundam, it was a lot of fun and has really great posability & a nice array of accessories ^w^
You said that Gundam wing got you into Gundam's well your not alone same here since Gundam wing I been Fan and I can't wait for the witch from Mercury this October
Little late but the front hip skirts are meant to be cut apart in the middle of where they plug into the sockets in the crotch to allow them to move independently of each other.
Toonami really got us good. Berserk Fury from Zoids New Century is an awesome build! Especially Gojulas, that'll take weeks to build! BTW stay well Meli 😊
Finally, I saw the moving GUNDAM in Yokohama last week! I was overwhelmed by the life-size figure and spent hours looking at it, especially at the movable joints..., and I really really really wanted Gunpla Meli-san to see it too! The release period has been extended by 1year (Until March 2023), so I hope you will have a chance to meet GUNDAM!!
Another great vid @gunplameli I started to build gundams because of gundam wing and deathscythe is my favorite gundam. Cant wait to see Deathscythe Hell. Hope epyon, altron and tallgeese are next so I can complete the set. :-) Get well soon Meli. ☺️
Awesome 👏 review funnily enough That’s how I Discovered Gundam back in the days of Toonami ah that takes me back ☺️. I’m glad you’re voice is back to normal hopefully you’ll be 100% soon 👍👍. Kind Regards AuraKnight
Glad to hear you’re feeling better, but where is Bowser?! Also I remember you saying you would like to try new Kits, you should give HG 1/72 MAILeS mecha kits a try, you might like it.
Hey i have a question. I snapped a little piece off my RG evangelion (fell off the table and the little shoulder piece broke). Have you used glue on the kits before? if so what kinda glue? I wat something strong but i dont know if the plastic can take a strong glue. thanks!
Hi meli, I think you should try the Anime Eighty-Six 86 Juggernaut and Reginleif Model Kits. There awesome and the Anime for Season 1 and 2 is awesome.
